A COSTLY INSTITUTION
RObclInc Reporter.

We cheeriuIly give place to our cor
respondent Mr.. Skotield in this issue,
for correction what our typo accidental
ly lett out OF his communication of
last week. He seems determined to
maintain that the Institution Of Baton
Rouge has been >Wiudlcd by the con
vcntion Of 1879. Let us see, annalyZe
the matter, in 1862 the L. 5. Govern
ment gave 210000 acres OF land to
Louisiana. This land was sold for
S1S2 900. and invested in State warrants
when our state was under Radical rule,
our people were robbed under the
forms OF law, debt after debt was
made, every act Of the Legislature,
pertaining to It's finances was of the
most venal ever perpetrated Oh q peo-
pie bonds after Oouds We're thrown on
the market nutil these bonds WelG al
most worthless. 1t was then we un-
derStand that our friends who under
stand 8 calculus" purchased this amount
>:ii27 900. of Radical corrupt bonds Of
our State, which Is now being claimed
should be paid The convention Of
1879 in settling The debt question,
agreed to pay the interest on the origi-
nal amount Of S1S2 900 which was fair
and just. But it seems this interest is
not a sufficient amount for the Uni7ersi-
ty fellows. 1t is certainly bad enough
for Republicans to rob us, but to be ac-
cused by Democrats Of not paying Just
dues on these corrupt and veual bonds,
is .iusta little more than we expected
Now it seems to us that the State
should at once pay over the S1S2,000 tn
those who think the Institution belong
to them and be done with it. it would
save the people of Louisiana some
S32, 900 per year, from concern in
which they seemingly have no rights or
interest. We are sorry TO hear our

know the " big horse is ga little lean
in flesh because he is of the long hun
CRY breed and rawbone nature. Our
might stuff him with the
amount that it takes for the Tulane
business, and under his present condi-
ton he is bound to die. Our advice
would be to let him die, S32 900 is too
much yearly for sick horse-1s the

A CURE FOR KICKING COWS

Tie the cow by the head, using a
stout halter with ring under the chin.
Get squarely behind her-she cannot
kick you then-and fasten a stout cord
to the pastern of each hind foot. Run
these forward through the halter ring,
and back convenient to your hand
when milking. When the COW lifts a
foot to kick. pull the cord. thus draw
ing the foot toward her jaw, and
throwing her off her feet. When she
gets up and attempts. to kick, jerk the
cord with all your might. Stout, wild
feifers that had never been fed before,
OF, had q mans hand on them, except
when they were branded we're in this
way broken in an hour, and never at

PROVERBS RELATING TO THE
MOON

Weather proverbs relating TO the
moon are thus given by the Boston
Journal:
When the moon is visible in the day
time, the days are relatively cool.
In western Kansas it is said that
when the moon is near the full it never
storms, and the sailors say the full
moon eats the clouds.
It the full moon rises clear, expect
fine weather.
A large ring around the moon, and
low clouds, indicate rain in "a hours: a
small ring and high clouds, rain in seve-
raj days.
The larger the halo about the moon,
the nearer the rain clouds, and the
sooner the rain may be expected.
When the moon is darkest near the
horizon, expect rain.
1t the full moon rises pale, expect
rain.
A red moon indicates wind.
Lit the moon is seen between the send
and broken clouds during gale, it is
expected to scud away the bad weather.
In the old of the moon, a cloudy
morning bodies a fair afternoon.
1t there be general mist before sun
rise, near the full of the moon, the
weather will be fine for some days.
Lit the moon shows a silver shield, be
not afraid to reap your field. But if
she rises halved around, you soon will
tread on deluged gronnd.
The rising or setting of the moon will
be followed by decrease of storm
which is then prevailing.

THE SCHOOL FUND GRAB
Farnleryille Gazette.

Following Oh the heels of the Lazarus
| maifeasance and the Strong defalca
ton comes the Rutland grab which is
more than likely to involve some of the
Chiefs OF the State administration into
considerable trouble.
We learn that, Oil the request of Su-
perlntendeDt Easton, our school board
contracted with ". L. Rutland at his
90 per cent figures, and that he has sue
ceeded in cullecting 81 800 for the pub
lie schools of this parish, out of which
he retained his moderate % fee of
$3.50. Our school board was led to be-
lleve, 10y Mr.. Easton, that the amounts
coming to each parish were small, and
the school boards would have to give at
least half in order to get any one to take
the trouble of looking up the matter
aud collecting the money from the
state officials; hence, our board are not
as much to blame as Mr. Easton, who is
the head OF the school affairs of this
State, and is presumed to know what is
Believing. that Easton knew what. he
was recommending. and that a man so
full OF friendly pletentions regarding
the interest of public schools, as he ap-
parently seems, would not advise a
wrong step, our board contracted with
Rutland ou the faith Of Easton's letter,
without considering the consequences
and the result is that our board have
been cheated out of $3.50 which should
have been forwarded to their parish
treasurer without any delay, or any in
tervention of Mr.. Lawyer.
The blame of this whole matter is
scattered all around, the school board
should bear its part for not investigat-
ing matters, a little at least, before
contracting; Mr.. Easton is greatly to
blame for recommending the services
OF Rutland at such fancy figures; and
Mr.. Rutland is censurable because he

knew that his labor was not so great as
to entltle him to half of the money he
should collect. We may be wrong but
| 1t has been our impression for good
long while that the people paid the
state officers to attend to all such mat
| ters as this.
At present we don't know at whose
door to lay this neglect of official duty,
but We"do know this much, that things
are mighty rotten in Denmark" and it
is about time that Il purifying current
should be set to work about the State
House.. and undoubtedly the result
would be that school boards would not

gantlc figures as fifty per cent on very

| older than the devil. The word demon
(dalmon) signified a divinity originally
and has been degraded, even as the
characters of demons and devils have
degenerated. Thus in heather coun-
! tries there sprung up demons of fire,
hunger, thirst, cold, fever, darkness,
ETC.; ghou's which fed upon the dead,
and vampires returning from the dead
to feed upon the living. The demons of
evil became so much more numerous
than the good spirits that the word at
last came to signify only what was bad.
The serpent is the most commonly ac-
cepted type Of a devil in both Christian
and heather countries. There are,
however, scarcely any living animals,
birds or fishes, whose characteristics
are we'll known, to which some tribe
or people has not attributed at some

There are devil worshpers, devil charm
